Full-time researcher programme
Full-time researchers are employed by the SAIFAC Trust and managed by the Director. The precise subject matter of their research depends on the nature of the funding obtained, but must fall into one or more of SAIFAC’s core areas. Two levels of position are available: Senior and Junior Researcher. Senior Researchers are expected to work independently and to play a mentoring role in the organisation in relation to junior staff and postgraduate students. The Junior Researcher position is a capacity-building position for young researchers intent on pursuing a career in legal academe or the NGO sector. Where permitted by Home Affairs regulations, the programme also provides funding for foreign researchers to spend up to two years working at SAIFAC as technical experts.
